This was a very simple yet delicious recipe. However, I did find that there wasn't nearly enough sauce for the amount of pasta. So, next time I will either double the amount of sauce or use less pasta. Thank-you for a wonderful recipe.

The flavour in this is amazing!! I used recipe#23537 to make Emeril's Southwest Seasoning and it turned out great! Will definitely make this again! So quick and easy to throw together, too! I'll post the pics I took of it as soon as I get the chance!
